- Use a mix of open and closed storage in your entryway to keep
the space functional and tidy.
- When choosing a bed for a room with high ceilings, focus on
standard bed heights and consider grander, eye-catching headboards
or canopy beds to enhance the room's proportions.
- For a long and skinny living room with a corner fireplace,
consider placing a sectional sofa diagonally to create a dynamic
and conversation-starting layout.
